Abstract This work presents the development of a feedback control system for a pilot membrane distillation facility powered with solar energy located at Plataforma Solar de Almeria (PSA), Spain. The control system allows to fix a suitable operating temperature at the inlet of the distillation system, improving the operation quality. Four direct control schemes based on Proportional Integral (PI) controllers and Feedforward (FF) are designed as well as a reference governor which generates temperature references for the heat generation circuit direct control layer. Simulations and experimental tests are shown to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

太阳能膜蒸馏试验装置的带参考调速器的反馈控制系统

摘要 这项工作介绍了位于西班牙 Plataforma Solar de Almeria (PSA) 的由太阳能供电的中试膜蒸馏设施的反馈控制系统的开发。控制系统允许在蒸馏系统的入口处固定合适的操作温度，提高操作质量。设计了四种基于比例积分 (PI) 控制器和前馈 (FF) 的直接控制方案，以及为发热电路直接控制层生成温度参考的参考调节器。仿真和实验测试证明了所提出方案的有效性。
